MakeUp Brush Must Haves

So many makeup brushes out there, some times it’s hard to know where to start. I have broken it down into 2 sets. The 1st set is the basic starter brushes. These are the ones that every single girl should own, no matter what your makeup level is. If you want to wear makeup, you need these brushes. The 2nd set is brushes to add on to your collection when you want to try new looks or advance how you are wearing your makeup. Just to warn you, all my brushes are Sigma (I think they are the best!)

Concealer – F86 Tapered Kabuki. This brush is big enough to cover my entire under eye area with concealer and any other red spots around my face in a matter of seconds. It leaves you with the same airbrushed look as the F80.

Fluffly Blending – E40 Tapered Blending. After you apply a shadow all over the lid, use this brush to apply shadow to your crease. It will buff out the shadow and give a nice natural look to the shadow.

Eyeliner Pencil – E30 Pencil. This brush is used for a multitude of reasons. I dip it in eye shadow and apply it as eyeliner. Depending on how much shadow you apply, it will give a natural look or a smoked out look. I also use this brush to blend out the shadow on my lower lash line for a blown out look. Definite must have!

Small Precise – E20 Short Shader. I use this brush to apply my highlight on my brow bone and the inner corner of the eye. It small enough to fit in those small places and put the highlight just where I want it.

Bronzer – F20 Large Powder. Perfect size for getting the bronzer in the hallows on my cheek and blending/buffing it out. Gives a natural sun kissed look.

Tapered Blending E35 & Blending E25. These brushes are used for similar purposes but give a different look. I use both for apply shadow and blending in my crease, outer corner and some times all over the lid. The tapered blending E35 has longer bristles so it will give a more blown out look. While the blending E25 will apply more shadow right were you want it.

Small Tapered Blending – E45 Blending. This brush is my newest obsession!! Any time I want a smokey dramatic look this is the brush I grab for. I use it in the outer corner to apply and blend out the shadow. It’s amazing!!!!

I knew this post would be about sigma brushes, haha!
I don’t have Sigma but hear great things about them. They are the top of my list of brushes to purchase. Thanks for the advice!
